About the Item

This 20th-century Anatolian terracotta jar is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, featuring a hand-applied whitewashed finish that beautifully contrasts its warm terracotta base. The soft, rounded form speaks to its functional origins, used for storing grains or liquids in rural Anatolia. Subtle imperfections and a timeworn patina add to its authenticity and charm, making it a true collector’s piece. Perfect for modern rustic, Mediterranean, or minimalist interiors, this jar can be styled as a standalone statement or paired with dried foliage for added texture. Its historical character and versatile design make it a timeless addition to any curated space, offering a connection to the past while complementing contemporary decor trends. Handle with Care: To maintain its structure, avoid submerging it in water. To protect the pot's integrity when used with live plants or flowers, use a vase insert or liner.
